TMZ posted posted a a video of Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie receiver Mike Evans getting involved in a brawl outside of a nightclub in Miami.

Evans agent Deryk Gilmore confirmed, to the Tampa Bay Times, Evans is one of the men in the video and said the incident occurred in March, contrary to the TMZ report which said the brawl took place last Saturday, and Evans was not arrested.

Gilmore also told the Times that Evans was trying to get back into the night club to get his girlfriend after being asked to leave.

"The incident in question happened during spring break in March while I was vacationing with friends in Miami," Evans said. "The issue occurred at the end of the night when someone in my party was approached by a member of the security staff. The situation escalated very quickly from there, but fortunately no one was injured. I regret that this incident that happened nearly six months ago has become a distraction to my team and I look forward to continuing to prepare for the start of my rookie season with the Buccaneers."

Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith also released a statement saying he'd spoke with Evans about the incident.

"During his time here since we drafted him in May, Mike has met all of our expectations both on and off the football field," Smith said in the statement. "After speaking with Mike, our feelings about him remain unchanged. We expect him to be an important member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for many years to come and we consider this matter closed."
